[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But the previous posters comment is true. If you make the top two teams pull the trigger and do it.
Go to a different club before the 5th or 6th team tho, unless it is some priority to be in Arlington.All the girls do make a team there.  The only competition is about making red or white

and staying there.

So not bitterness.  It is just a fact at the bigger clubs. don't get riled up[/quote]

Shop around.  I know several players that have turned down even when making a top two.  It might not be what you want. [/quote]

Shop around for the *coach* - s/he makes all the difference, especially at the younger age groups. Meet them - talk to them. Check how long they’ve been at their club or previous club if they’re new, what their reputation is with club leadership, whether they’ve hopped teams/clubs a lot, their licensing level (a measure of how much they’re willing to invest in themselves as coaches). Our club isn’t big enough to go more than 3 teams deep in an age group, so I can’t speak for levels below that, but the coach takes up most of your fee and should be earning it - whether it’s 1st, 2nd, or 6th team.
